    Opinions: best choice of hardwood flooring, granite color w/ white cabinets

    It seems that for wood flooring, most people recommend venetian flooring systems or simple floors in orange. Venetian is closed these days as they are outside US for an international project.  They will be back at the end of this month.

    Just curious who is the other builder? Pulte has been very aggressive in selling their homes. They had started pre-selling their homes in August.

    We bought a Plan 3 in William Lyon Whistler, and there was no "toxicity of land" disclosure. I asked them specifically and was told that as it was farming land, there was no problem with fruits and vegetables.

    Great Park: Richmond American - Birch Trail

    I had asked the agent on their last "meet the builder" event about the solar panels. He said these are now standard on the Birch trail houses.  Either Richmond American has not updated their list or this agent is wrong.

    Irvine High vs Northwood High

    Can any one comment about which school has better teachers?  We are in the NHS area but are thinking about sending our children to IHS.  We feel that quality of teaching is similar at both schools but children who go to NHS are much more into academics.  As more academically oriented children go...
